I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with an Nvidia 8600GT video card. I installed the driveers using envy, and have set my screen resolution using the nvidia settings gui tool. The problem I have is that if I run SL in full screen it does not recognize the screen resolution I am running my monitor at (1280x1024). Instead it only offers 1024x768. So I tried running SL aat 1024x768 in full screen, and I have this really wierd problem. After a little bit, the monitor changes from a full screen to a window...then it will do it back again, and so forth. I think it has to do with the "mode" line in xorg.conf file noting the resolution I run linux at most of the time. How do I fix this?

Configure SL to run "in a window." Then it won't try to change the monitor resolution and you can have a window of any size.
Edit -> Preferences -> Graphics
Enable the check-box titled "Run Second Life in a window." It's at the top of the Graphics settings.
